      1. Workbench Overview

      The Rayven Workspace interface consists of two primary sections:

        • .

      • M

          • .

      • Left-hand Navigation Panel: This is where you can create new applications and manage existing ones. Each project and app is easily accessible, allowing quick navigation to the specific components you need to work on.

         Home

        Navigate back to your main dashboard. This is the landing area where you can view system activity, recent projects, notifications, and other workspace-wide insights.

        Create New App

        This section allows you to start building new applications from templates or scratch. It’s categorized into different app types to support specific use cases.

        Web App

        Design responsive front-end applications for web interaction—ideal for internal portals, dashboards, and customer-facing tools.

        • Uses: Tables (for storing data), Workflows (for backend logic), Interfaces (for front-end UI), and User Management (to control who sees what).
          ➡️ How to Create Web App

         Workflow App

        Build backend logic systems that automate processes, transform data, and drive decisioning. Interfaces and user management are optional depending on your needs.

        • Uses: Tables (for logging and storing results), Workflows (core logic engine).

        • Optional: Interfaces (if you want to visualize or monitor the workflow), Users (if visibility or access control is needed).
          ➡️ How to Create Workflow App

        IoT App

        Create apps that connect to IoT devices and sensors. These apps are built to handle high-volume telemetry data, trigger alerts, and manage edge interactions.

        • Uses: Tables (for sensor data), Workflows (for real-time logic), Interfaces (for device dashboards), and User Management (for site-specific access or control).
          ➡️ How to Create IoT App

        QR Code App

        Design lightweight apps triggered by QR code scans—great for field operations, asset tracking, or marketing engagement.

        • Uses: Tables (to store scan data or actions), Workflows (for logic after scan), Interfaces (mobile-friendly UI), and User Management (if scans need to be tracked per user).
          ➡️ How to Create QR Code App

        AI App

        Deploy intelligent applications with AI models, such as recommendation engines or predictive tools.

        • Uses: Tables (to train and store model inputs/outputs), Workflows (to orchestrate AI actions), Interfaces (for insights & control panels), and User Management (for segmented access).
          ➡️ How to Create AI App

        Forms App

        Build interactive data capture forms for inspections, audits, surveys, or onboarding processes.

        • Uses: Tables (to capture form submissions), Workflows (to route data or trigger actions), Interfaces (to present forms), and User Management (to assign and track submissions).
          ➡️ How to Create Forms App

        Other

        Use this option to start with a blank app or explore app types not covered in predefined categories.

        • Uses: Flexible—combine Tables, Workflows, Interfaces, and User Management as needed depending on the custom app requirements.

        My Apps

        A comprehensive list of all the applications you've created or have access to. This section allows you to open, edit, and manage apps directly. Apps are typically listed with filtering and search options to make navigation easier.


        Workspace Middle Section Overview

        The central area of the Rayven.io Workspace homepage is designed to help you take immediate action—whether you’re creating a new app, tracking platform activity, or managing existing projects. Here's a breakdown of the elements you’ll see and how to use them:

        Pick Your Path: AI, Template, or Scratch

        You can kickstart your app-building journey using three flexible options, depending on your experience and goals:

        pickpath

        Create Using AI

        Leverage Rayven.io’s generative AI to build an application in seconds. Just describe what you need, and our AI will assemble the structure, workflows, tables, and user flows for you.
        Best for: Rapid prototyping, idea validation, and non-technical users.

        Create From Template

        Choose from a library of ready-made templates tailored for various industries and use cases. These come preloaded with workflows, tables, interfaces, and user setups to give you a head start.
        Best for: Common use cases, repeatable business scenarios.

        Create From Scratch

        Start with a blank canvas and full control. Define everything from the database schema to workflows, interfaces, and user access from the ground up.
        Best for: Custom solutions and experienced users who want complete flexibility.

        Activity & Key Metrics
